On Sept. 15 at Baltimore, the Browns were the better team for a half, but they managed only two field goals for a 6-0 lead. Offensive coordinator Norv Turner spotted a hole in Baltimore's defense, leading to an opening play on which Brandon Weeden hit Jordan Cameron on a 53-yard catch and run — first and goal. Davone Bess seemed to be held on a third-down no-call, and the Ravens escaped trailing just 3-0. Joe Flacco steered Baltimore 80 yards on his first possession of the second half, setting the tone for a 14-6 victory. The Ravens, 3-4, have lost three of their last four games, including 19-16 at Pittsburgh last Sunday.

How times have changed

• In the first game, the Browns didn't have Josh Gordon, now one of the hottest wide receivers in the league. Wideouts Greg Little and Davone Bess totaled nine catches for 71 yards. ... Ravens wideout-return man Jacoby Jones missed the Sept. 15 game with an injury, and will be in his third game back. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh touched on his impact: "Jacoby is a threat every time he's on the field to take it the distance."

• Baltimore has changed left tackles, getting rid of Bryant McKinnie and trading for Eugene Monroe. "McKinnie was about 30 pounds bigger," Browns defensive end Desmond Bryant says. "Monroe is better at zone blocking and cut blocks." ... Oniel Cousins replaced injured right guard Shawn Lauvao at Baltimore with an ankle injury. Lauvao is in his fifth game back.

• In his final game as a Brown, Trent Richardson ran 18 times for 58 yards at Baltimore. Turner says replacement Willis McGahee's poor per-carry average (2.9 yards) results from a lack of long runs. McGahee hasn't had a run longer than 17 yards in his last 12 games, going back to last year with Denver. ... The Browns also have a different quarterback.

Iron-man Flacco vs. newcomer Campbell

• Jason Campbell made a strong impression in his first Browns start. "He's one of those guys Norv is comfortable with," Harbaugh says. "He can make all the throws. He got the ball out quickly at Kansas City. He moved around the pocket." Harbaugh notes he has faced Campbell before, but ... The only time Campbell started against Harbaugh was in 2008, a 24-10 Baltimore rout of Washington. Campbell's only other outing against Harbaugh came on a few fourth-quarter plays after Weeden got hurt Sept. 15. Sunday at Kansas City, Campbell hit Gordon five times for 132 yards. He will be a load for either starting cornerback, Lardarius Webb or Jimmy Smith. Those two had trouble in a recent road game with Miami's Mike Wallace (seven catches, 105 yards). Green Bay's Jordy Nelson (four-for-113) presented problems a week later.

• Flacco, a Baltimore fixture since 2008, is 11-0 against the Browns. The Ravens have been poor on first and second downs. Flacco has been among the league's best in converting third downs, especially third-and-longs. The Browns have been terrible on third-and-shorts and third-and-mediums, but are excellent on third-and-longs. "That's an interesting yin and yang there," defensive coordinator Ray Horton said. Flacco wasn't bad in a 19-16 loss at Pittsburgh last Sunday, going 24-of-34 for 217 yards, with no picks and just one sack. His big-play wideout, Torrey Smith, got loose for a 41-yard catch but otherwise managed just 21 yards. Joe Haden figures to play more man coverage against Smith than he did at Baltimore, when Smith hit the Browns with seven catches. ... Haden's warning as to Smith: "They don't like those five-yard shots. They want that over-the-top shot to Smith."

Page 2 of 2 - McGahee vs. Rice

Who knew McGahee would be having the same season as Ray Rice? That's not a compliment to McGahee. The Ravens Pro Bowler is stuck in the worst stretch of his six-year career. He has run 86 times for 242 yards (2.81 yards a carry). McGahee has run 79 times for 231 yards 231 yards (2.92). Rice hasn't been a receiving threat, either, with 114 yards on 24 catches. Browns safety T.J. Ward is wary, saying he could turn into the Rice of old if a hip flexor injury healed during Baltimore's bye week. Rice ranked No. 9 in the NFL in yards from scrimmage last year. He is well outside the top 50 this year. ... Kansas City's Jamaal Charles (18 carries, 74 yards; five catches, 46 yards) had the kind of effective game against the Browns last week that Rice used to produce.
